GALVESTON, July 9.-The twenty mile

several weeks, was sailed to-day. The

Cloud and Alice, of Galveston; Alice, of
Rockport, and Edith, of Arkansas. Pass.
The course was from New wharf around

Half Moon lighthouse; thence back as far
as Kuhn's wharf. The judges we're:
Captain o. H. Wiley, of the government
steam launch, Penrose; I. G..
Dignan, B. Crane, H. Carnes and
j. Delaney. The start was made at 1920,
and every craft was flying down the har-
Dor under full head of canvas. At the
black buoy all we're pretty well punched;
the Silver Cloud slightly in the lead, and
the Alice, of Galveston, bringing up the
rear. In rounding the buoy the Silver
Cloud lost her topmast, and the White
Wing forged ahead and won the race;
Silver Cloud, second; Viola, third; Alice,
of Rockport, fourth. The Edith,
of Arkansas Pass, and Alice, of
Galveston were distanced. The White
Wings time was 2hours, AZ minutes and

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 9.-Lily Glib
son, the notorious demi-moRde, who was
tried some months ago and convicted and
sentenced to serve five years in the penl-
Tertiary for the murder of Jim Russell,
was taken from the Bexar county jail
this morning by the penitentiary contrao-
tor, and is now en- route for her prison
home in Huntsville, while Cliff Cook, her
alleged husband, the principal in the
crime, is confined at the Rusk peniten-
tiary in the tailoring department. The
cat-like temper of the fair Lilly
has not materially altered since her long
confinement in Jail, but, on the contrary,
seems to have grown worse, as is evident
by her fierce treatment of her sister a few
days ago. The sister called at the jail to
bid Lily goodbye, but was received with
volley of filthy oaths and a hard blow
over the head with whisky bottle. The
interview was speedily interrupted by the
arrival of deputy sheriff, and the sister
retired from the Jail. Gibson drinks like

A Colored Resident of Anderson County
Charged with Infanticide.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
PALESTINE, July 9.-Sarah Pace,colored,
wife of Henry Pace, came to town this
morning and made affidavit against her
husband for an aggravated assault upon
herself and the murder CT their infant
child, at their home, nine miles east of
town, about six months ago. The woman
alleges that she was kept under strict
surveillance and terrified by con-
slant threats of beatings if she
divulged the secret to the neighbors or
authorities. 1t was no secret that the
child was burned to death. The people in
the vicinity supposed it to be accidental
until the woman made the affidavit. She
states that her husband threw the child
in the fire, and after it was burned beat
it with stick, the flesh adhering to the
stick at every stroke. Constable Steve
Crist and Deputy Sheriff Lum Stockbridge
arrested Pace to-day, while at work in his
field. He was considerably agltated when
told that the charge made against him was
the murder of his child.

Alleped Gold Discover1es.

CHICAGO, July "a special from Ish-
peming, Michigan, says: Messrs. Inek,
Hall and Jopling discovered in August,
1886, a vein of gold bearing quartz on the
lands of the Lake Superior Iron company,
six miles northwest of IshpemiDg. The
discovery caused some excitement at the
time. but as the discoveries could not get
the lease of the property, the find was not
developed. Six weeks ago Joseph i.
Fay, of Boston, general manager OF the
Lake Superior company, visited the gold
discovery and by his orders the company
began the work of exploration. Yester-
day the explorers found an eight inch
vein of quartz, carrying free gold in im-
mense quantities. The ore was brought to
the city and asssyed. 1t was found to be
fabulously rich in the precious metal.
When the quartz is broken the gold Will
hold it together. The discovery has been
kept quiet and this is the first notice OF 1t
given TO the public.

INAK KICKING MOOD.
The knights of Labor Dissatisfied Wit
Their New Constitution.

The Knights of Labor Dissatisfied With
Their New Constitution.
New YORK, July 9.--There will be
very vigorous kick against the new con-
stitution of the Knights of Labor, which
goes into effect on Monday, according to
the general executive board. At least 300
local assemblies in this neighborhood will
refuse to be guided by its provisions.
District Assembly rs, which voted against
it, will run the risk of suspension rather
than work under it. Some of the knights
opposed to it doubt the accuracy of the
count by which the executive board de-
clared it adopted. They would like to
look at the official list of locals that voted
for and against it. The new administra-
ton of District 40 is in the long list of
obiectos.
It is said that the new constitution was
unconstitutionally projected, even If the
count was all right. One of the features
in the new constitution that is particu-
larly Objectionable is the compulsory tax
of two cents head month for the CO.
operative fund, managed by the executive
board. If the locals had been permitted
to vote on each article separately, the
feature would have been rejected by big
majority; but they were compelled to re-
ject or accept the constitution as q whole.
There will be general refusal of assem-
blies hereabouts to recognize the new
rule curtailing the size of the general as
sembly. The old rule gave every 1000
Knights delegate. The new rule calls
for delegate to every 5000. The result
of this will be that many assemblies will
elect delegates according to the old rule
and send them to Minneapolis in October.
A lively time over acceptance or rejection
by the committee on credentials is certain.
